Do you particularly enjoy the parables of Jesus – or do you wish you understood them better? Either way our new book is for you!
This new book is a practical but carefully researched commentary on all the parables. It gives many insights into the stories and their meanings through historical facts and other information that can enrich and transform your understanding of them. But this book is not just a commentary – it focuses on the living lessons of the parables themselves.
The City on a Hill is available on our sister-site in different formats (including PDF so you can read it on any electronic device).
The book is written from a nondenominational perspective, is completely free and free of advertising. You do not need to give an email address or any other information to download the book (just click on the download link on the LivingWithFaith.org “Downloads” page and enjoy). And if you enjoy the book and find it profitable, please feel free to make a copy of the file and pass it, or the URL, along to your friends and others you know who may find the book helpful.
The City on A Hill: Lessons from the Parables of Jesus is the first of a series of free e-Books we hope to produce this year – enjoy this one and look out for new titles as we go through 2015!

BibleGateway.com – the world’s most visited Bible translation site – has published the top ten verses for which people searched on their site during 2014. The results were based on no fewer than 1.5 billion pageviews by 150 million visitors.
1. John 3:16
2. Jeremiah 29:11
3. Philippians 4:13
4. Romans 8:28
5. Psalm 23:4
6. Philippians 4:6
7. 1 Corinthians 13:4
8. Proverbs 3:5
9. 1 Corinthians 13:7
10. Romans 12:2
Noticeable is the fact that seven of the top ten scriptures are from the New Testament, and in an article titled “150 Million Bible Readers Were Searching for Love Most in 2014,” Christianity Today points out that the most popular scriptures are all encouraging ones, and that BibleGateway visitors searched for love more than any other term. The report shows which books, chapters and verses of the Bible are most viewed and many other interesting facts about BibleGateway use. You can read their report here.

If you haven’t checked our sister site, LivingWithFaith.org, recently you will find that there is more new material there. As is the case with this site, blog posts and/or other material is uploaded at least once a week and usually more often.
Recent blog posts you might enjoy on LivingWithFaith.org include: “James the Son of Zebedee.” “What Faith Is Not,” “The Mother’s Name,” “It’s Not about Feelings,” and “Missing Small Miracles as We Look for Large Ones.” In addition, there are also recent book reviews, quotations and articles.
Meanwhile, on this site, we have new material on the Quotations and Tactical Living pages – with lots more to come!

There are a number of useful Bible apps out there that can be run on smart phones or computers. However, a new start-up – The Bible App Project – is planning some fresh and we think important new apps, so take a moment sometime to look
here at their site.
Note that we at LivingWithFaith.org and our sister site TacticalChristianity.org have nothing to sell (we don’t even accept donations), and we do not endorse or advertise products for sale. In this case, The Bible App Project is operating in a way we are happy with – they plan to generously provide some of their fully-functional basic Bible apps for free download, with the option of pay-for upgrades or additions. That seems like a fair way to produce Bible-based software (and still be able to stay in business to provide the service!)
The Bible App Project is just getting started, but check out their website. We look forward to being able to let you know more, in future announcements, about this exciting project.
